Rain Barrel Workshop!
It's the perfect time of year to consider adding a rain barrel to your home. By installing a rain barrel you can save water, save money, and help your local streams all at the same time. Next week, on June 24th the Stream Team is hosting a workshop to teach you how to build, install and maintain your own rain barrel.
When it rains, stormwater moves quickly over impervious surfaces such as buildings and roads, picking up pollutants like nutrients, sediment, oil, chemicals, road salt, and metals. By capturing stormwater before it flows over roads urban residents can help decrease the amount of pollutants
entering Lake Champlain.
The water you save in a rain barrel can be used for watering lawns and flower gardens, and washing your car or tools. Rain barrels help decrease runoff to Lake Champlain by capturing and holding rain water during a storm, and that means cleaner water for everyone. The workshop will be hosted at the City of South Burlington Department of Public Works, 104 Landfill Rd. South Burlington, VT 05403, in two sessions, 10:00am-11:30am and 1:00pm-2:30pm on Friday, June 24th , 2022.
